CPR was started on the scene and both were transported to separate hospitals but efforts to resuscitate them were unsuccessful and they were later pronounced dead.
According to TCSO, Vetters was pregnant and her unborn child did not survive.
TCSO says detectives conducted a thorough investigation to determine if Vetters and her daughter fell from a third-floor balcony where they were last seen, or if the incident was intentional.
